Know what's sad and puzzling about that bat (all of them really)?

Stanford can be engraved on the bat but VT will not approve the engraver putting anything relating to VT on any of our bats. No letters, no logos, no words, not even any initials pertaining to Virginia Tech. Made a couple bats for a fan about Emma Ritter - she and he are from the same hometown. He wanted "From Perryville Star to VT SuperStar" engraved on the bat. VT said NO so we made it "From Perryville Star to Blacksburg SuperStar". Turned out great but c'mon VT - talk to a marketing professor to learn about building a brand, why don't you?

If we start 27-0, I’ll be ok with Pete getting #300 in Durham!

If I had to choose between #300 at home and a start of 27-0 well heck yeah
laphroaig • 12/30/25 04:16 PM ET
And rubbing it in in Durham with #300 will be sweet...
